OBAMA IMPEACHMENT – FALSIFYING WAR INTELLIGENCE…https://conservativecritic.wordpress.com/2016/02/26/obama-impeachment-falsifying-war-intelligence/
https://conservativecritic.wordpress.com/2016/02/26/obama-impeachment-falsifying-war-intelligence/#respondFri, 26 Feb 2016 17:03:44 +0000http://conservativecritic.wordpress.com/?p=6538For years, Democrats and the mainstream media called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush over accusations that his administration used faulty intelligence to justify the war in Iraq. But it now appears that President Barack Obama’s administration is being swept up in an intelligence scandal of a much larger scale.

An investigation has revealed that the Obama administration may have repeatedly used faulty intelligence in an effort to mislead the American public about our armed forces’ progress against the Islamic State and in winning the War on Terror.

The revelation came Thursday, February 25, when it was reported that personnel at U.S. Central Command have deleted countless files and emails amid continuing allegations that intelligence assessments were altered to exaggerate progress against ISIS militants, according to the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

“We have been made aware that both files and emails have been deleted by personnel at CENTCOM and we expect that the Department of Defense will provide these and all other relevant documents to the committee,” Rep. Devin Nunes said at a hearing on worldwide threats facing the United States.

Central Command oversees U.S. military activities in the Middle East. A whistleblower whose position was not disclosed told the committee that material was deleted, according to a committee staff member who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly disclose the information.

President Obama has been repeatedly accused of painting an overly rosy picture of America’s standing in the War on Terror — and his assessments are often directly contradicted by soldiers on the ground. And it appears that CENTCOM analysts were under constant political pressure to make things appear to be going better than they were.

A survey issued last year indicated that 40 percent of responding CENTCOM employees answered “yes” to the question: “During the past year, do you believe that anyone attempted to distort or suppress analysis on which you were working in the face of persuasive evidence?”

The New York Times, which first disclosed the investigation, reported that the probe began after at least one civilian analyst told authorities he had evidence that officials at CENTCOM were improperly reworking conclusions of assessments prepared for President Obama and other top policymakers.

Critics say that could imply an impeachable offense, should it be found that Obama was pressuring changes to intelligence reports in order to lie to the American people. At best, the Obama administration has created a culture of fear so deeply ingrained in the U.S. intelligence community that analysts are feeling continually compelled to fill their reports with misinformation in order to keep the White House happy.

By Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

“…so what difference does it make”…Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton’s nightmare is not the sudden resurgence of Bernie Sanders. It is the fidelity to the rule of law of the FBI. The recent revelations of the receipt by Clinton of a Special Access Program email, as well as cut and pasted summaries of state secrets on her server and on her BlackBerry nearly guarantee that the FBI will recommend that the Department of Justice convene a grand jury and seek her indictment for espionage.

Here is the backstory. It seems that every week, more information comes to light about Clinton’s grave legal woes. Her worries are in two broad categories: One is her well-documented failure to safeguard state secrets and the other is her probable use of her position as secretary of state to advance financially her husband’s charitable foundation. The FBI is currently and aggressively investigating both.

What I will describe below is in the state secrets category. It is apparently not new to the FBI, but it is new to the public. Among the data that the FBI either found on the Clinton server or acquired from the State Department via its responses to Freedom of Information Act requests is a top-secret email that has been denominated Special Access Program.

Top secret is the highest category of state secrets (the other categories are confidential and secret), and of the sub-parts of top secret, SAP is the most sensitive. SAP is clothed in such secrecy that it cannot be received or opened accidentally.

Clinton — who ensured all of her governmental emails came to her through her husband’s server, a nonsecure nongovernmental venue — could only have received or viewed it from that server after inputting certain codes. Those codes change at unscheduled times, such that she would need to inquire of them before inputting them.

The presence of the SAP-denominated email on her husband’s server, whether opened or not, shows a criminal indifference to her lawful obligation to maintain safely all state secrets entrusted to her care.

Yet, Clinton has suggested that she is hopelessly digitally inept and may not have known what she was doing. This constitutes an attempted plausible deniability to the charge of failing to safeguard state secrets.

But in this sensitive area of the law, plausible deniability is not an available defense; no judge would permit the assertion of it in legal filings or in a courtroom, and no lawyer would permit a client to make the assertion.

This is so for two reasons. First, failure to safeguard state secrets is a crime for which the government need not prove intent. The failure can be done negligently. Thus, plausible deniability is actually an admission of negligence and, hence in this case, an admission of guilt, not a denial.

Second, Clinton signed an oath under penalty of perjury on Jan. 22, 2009, her first full day as secretary of state. In that oath, she acknowledged that she had received a full FBI briefing on the lawfully required care and keeping of state secrets. Her briefing and her oath specified that the obligation to safeguard state secrets is absolute — it cannot be avoided or evaded by forgetfulness or any other form of negligence, and that negligence can bring prosecution.

What type of data is typically protected by the SAP denomination? The most sensitive under the sun — such as the names of moles (spies working for more than one government) and their American handlers, the existence of black ops (illegal programs that the U.S. government carries out, of which it will deny knowledge if exposed), codes needed to access state secrets and ongoing intelligence gathering projects.

The crime here occurs when SAPs are exposed by residing in a nonsecure venue; it does not matter for prosecution purposes whether they fell into the wrong hands. Clinton’s persistent mocking of the seriousness of all this is the moral equivalent of taunting alligators before crossing a stream. SAPs are so sensitive that most of the FBI agents who are investigating Clinton lack the security clearances needed to view the SAP found among her emails. Most FBI agents have never seen a SAP.

Shortly after the presence of the SAP-denominated email was made known, the State Department released another email Clinton failed to erase wherein she instructed her subordinates to take state secrets from a secure venue, to cut and paste and summarize them, and send them to her on her nonsecure venue. Such an endeavor, if carried out, is a felony — masking and then not safeguarding state secrets.

Such a command to subordinates can only come from a criminal mind. Equally as telling is a little-known 2013 speech that recently surfaced given by one of Clinton’s former subordinates. The aide revealed that Clinton and her staff regularly engaged in digital conversations about state secrets on their BlackBerries.

This is not criminal if the BlackBerries were government-issued and secured. Clinton’s was neither. It was purchased at her instructions off the shelf by one of her staff. Can anyone doubt that Clinton has failed to safeguard state secrets?

If her name were Hillary Rodham instead of Hillary Rodham Clinton, she’d have been indicted months ago. What remains of the rule of law in America? The FBI will soon tell us.

Before Obama there was virtually no outlandish presence of Islam in America.

• All of a sudden, Islam is taught in schools. Christianity and the bible are banned in schools.

• All of a sudden we must allow prayer rugs everywhere and allow for Islamic prayer in schools,airports and businesses.

• All of a sudden we must stop serving pork in prisons.

• All of a sudden we are inundated with law suits by Muslims who are offended by American culture.

• All of a sudden we must allow burkas to be worn everywhere even though you have no idea who is covered up under them.

• All of a sudden Muslims are suing employers and refusing to do their jobs if they personally deem it conflicts with Sharia Law.

• All of a sudden the Attorney General of the United States vows to prosecute anyone who engages in “anti-Muslim speech”.

• All of a sudden, Jihadists who engage in terrorism and openly admit they acted in the name of Islam and ISIS, are emphatically declared they are NOT Islamic by our leaders and/or their actions are determined NOT to be terrorism, but other nebulous terms like ‘workplace violence.”

• All of a sudden, it becomes Policy that Secular Middle East dictators that were benign or friendly to the West, must be replaced by Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood.

• All of a sudden our troops are withdrawn from Iraq and the middle east, giving rise to ISIS. • All of a sudden, America has reduced it’s nuclear stockpiles to 1950 levels, as Obama’s stated goal of a nuke-free America by the time he leaves office continues uninterrupted.

• All of a sudden, a deal with Iran must be made at any cost, with a pathway to nuclear weapons and HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of dollars handed over to fund their programs.

• All of a sudden America APOLOGIZES to Muslim states and sponsors of terror worldwide for acts of aggression, war and sabotage THEY perpetrate against our soldiers.

• All of a sudden, the American Navy is diminished to 1917 Pre-World War I levels of only 300 ships. The Army is at pre-1940 levels. The Air Force scraps 500 planes and planned to retire the use of the A-10 Thunderbolt close air support fighter. A further draw down of another 40,000 military personnel is in progress.

• All of a sudden half of our aircraft carriers are recalled for maintenance by Obama rendering the Atlantic unguarded, NONE are in the Middle East.

• All of a sudden Obama has to empty Guantanamo Bay of captured Jihadists and let them loose in Jihad-friendly Islamic states. He demands to close the facility.

• All of a sudden America will negotiate with terrorists and trade FIVE Taliban commanders for a deserter and Jihad sympathizer.

• All of a sudden there is no money for American poor, disabled veterans, jobless Americans, hungry Americans, or displaced Americans but there is endless money for Obama’s “Syrian refugee” resettlement programs.

• All of sudden there is an ammunition shortage in the USA.

• All of a sudden, the most important thing for Obama to do after a mass shooting by two Jihadists, is disarm American Citizens. By his fruits you will know him.

All of a sudden, I am sick to my stomach!!

https://conservativecritic.wordpress.com/2016/01/14/obamas-seven-deadly-sins/#respondThu, 14 Jan 2016 06:25:05 +0000http://conservativecritic.wordpress.com/?p=6524There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. “Good pride” represents our dignity and self-respect. “Bad pride” is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance. — John C. Maxwell, American author

***************

Last night, President Barack Obama gave his final State of the Union address. I don’t doubt that with it he infected even more Americans with what I call the seven-year itch.

Originally, the seven-year itch was a medical diagnosis of a persistent skin irritation. After medical science provided another name, the seven-year itch was a title for a play and then a movie in 1955.

So ingrained was the notion of the seven-year itch that psychologists were using it in the diagnosis of marriages on the rocks. I believe that the title applies to a broad and worsening national sickness and can be broken down to one word: Obamaitis.

The word “Obamaitis” is new to the lexicon and has myriad definitions, according to Urban Dictionary. It can be defined as believing the president even when you know that he is lying or having the urge to kill yourself every time you hear Obama’s name mentioned.

For our purposes, let us confine our definition of Obamaitis to a nationwide ailment whose onset began seven years ago when Obama was elected to his first term.

Below, I’ve taken the liberty to aptly name the cause of Obamaitis: Obama’s seven deadly sins.

The good news is that in one more year Obamaitis, like food poisoning, will have run its course. The bad news is that symptoms are getting worse by the month and will persist until this malady runs its course and quietly expires. Seven conspicuous symptoms encapsulate Obamaitis — a condition that, if untreated, can have grave repercussions for the nation and may over time destroy America, which once was the envy of the world.

Pride

The inhumanity and grand ambitions of radical Islam, which is spreading like a cancer across the Middle East, would be difficult for a proud Muslim to accept. If, as I believe, Obama is both a Muslim and silently proud of his religion, it could be why he seems so willfully blind to its evils and explains why he has been so harsh in dealing with Israel and overly accommodative toward Iran, specifically the making available of $100 billion to Tehran that can be used toward Iran’s ultimate goal of becoming a nuclear threat and the dominant power in the oil-rich Middle East. Being a sympathizer to Islam has weakened America. His halfhearted prosecution of the global war against Islamic fundamentalists reveals his wrath.

Wrath

It was reported late last August that Obama stormed out of a Pentagon meeting regarding a proposed bombing campaign against ISIS. According to Before It Is News, Obama was overtaken by a fit of rage and yelled at his top military leaders: “Don’t you dare try and paint all of Islam with the same brush.”

There have been other reports on how Obama’s angry outbursts belie the calm demeanor he presents to the public. In his book, “Believer: My Forty Years in Politics,” former Obama strategist David Axelrod reveals how the president once viciously chewed him out as he was preparing Obama for his 2012 debate with Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

“Motherf****r’s never happy,” Obama yelled at Axelrod before bolting from the room.

It is noteworthy that between taking office in 2009 and March 2015, the Obama administration has waged an all-out war on government whistleblowers and official leakers. According to The Guardian, during that span, his administration undertook eight prosecutions under the 1917 Espionage Act — more than double those under all previous presidents combined.

Obama’s public persona as a calm and collected world leader hides another weakness.

Lust

Obama’s lust for accolades is well documented from his burning, but thwarted, desire to have his picture taken with the dying iconic leader of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, to his and his wife Michelle’s near brawl with the Clintons over which couple would lay the wreath at the tomb of slain President John F. Kennedy in November 2013.

The Obamas’ lust for money and expensive vacations would be legendary, except much of their extravagant spending is typically not reported. Money Morning reported in June 2013 that Obama’s vacation spending far exceeds that of any past president. Just one of the Obama family’s vacations cost taxpayers $100 million. It required a hospital ship stationed near their resort in case anyone needed medical attention, 14 limousines, aircraft and an additional 56 support vehicles. Obama’s desire for things that only money can buy underscores another ugly trait.

Gluttony

In September 2012, the Mail Online reported that the Obama family costs taxpayers $1.4 billion per year, some 20 times more than is spent on the British royal family. The perks of being Barack Obama include having a handler for the family dogs. The position costs taxpayers more than $100,000 a year, and the handler is one of 226 Obama staff members paid more than $100,000 per year.

The numbers are compiled by author Robert Keith Gray in his book “Presidential Perks Gone Royal.” Gray states Obama isn’t the only president to have taken advantage of the expensive trappings of his office. But the amount of money spent on the first family, he argues, has risen tremendously under the Obama administration and needs to be reined in. According to Gray, the $1.4 billion spent on Obama in 2011 alone factor the cost of the “biggest staff in history at the highest wages ever,” a 50 percent increase in the numbers of appointed czars and an Air Force One “running with the frequency of a scheduled airline.” But there are other ways Obama displays greed.

Greed

The manipulation of authority is one form of greed, and Obama has relentless disregard for Congress. The latest example has been Obama taking aim at gun shows. The president’s most recent executive order attempts to clarify a distinction in federal firearms regulations between gun sales by businesses and guns sales by private individuals — this, despite the fact that Congress has steadfastly refused to extend background checks to private gun sales.

Lawmakers refused to pass such a change in December just after the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.

In an article for The Conversation, Georgia State University professor Timothy D. Lytton wrote:

The legislative process is intentionally designed to make it difficult to pass legislation over the strong opposition of a minority group. In this case, the extreme wing of the NRA membership has the ear of key congressional players like House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley whose support is necessary to advance legislation. The result has been legislative deadlock.

Obama’s executive order is an attempt to bypass this legislative deadlock.

A post in U.S. News & World Report’s “Debate Club” section stated:

The House last week adopted a bill that, as the Associated Press put it, “would expedite congressional lawsuits against the chief executive for failure to enforce federal laws.” The measure was approved by a vote of 233 to 181, with every voting Republican, as well as five Democrats, voting in favor.

The bill was spurred by what Republicans see as an abuse of executive power by the Obama administration. They cite executive changes to the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, as well as executive orders regarding immigration and the environment. Republicans are also displeased with the administration for failing to fully enforce federal laws on sentencing and the federal ban on gay marriage.

It is no secret that Obama likes to play golf — the more famous his opponent the better, as was the case when he played Tiger Woods. The president famously brings his work to the golf course. He once played a round of golf with then-Speaker John Boehner in an attempt to get the legislative and executive branches to have better relations, or at least an improved scorecard.

A few years ago, the nonpartisan Government Accountability Institute estimated that the president has spent more than twice as many hours on vacation and golf (976 hours) as he has in economic meetings.

Envy

It is known that Obama is envious that he is not held in higher esteem compared to other presidents, especially their poll ratings. Obama’s job approval rating in the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll in December stood at a mediocre 43 percent. Over the seven years he has been in office, it has never gone above 61 percent — a level reached only in his early months in office. It is just 36 percent among whites.

Obama hoped to be a transformative president, celebrated by liberals the way President Ronald Reagan is still celebrated by conservatives.

His attempt to soothe race relations has fallen flat on its face. Today, there is more racial tension in the United States than there has been in 20 years. That’s a testament to Obama’s failure as president, and it has led many people to feel they have suffered because of his leadership over the past seven years.

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.

Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.

Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.

Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.

According to the Long War Journal, which first broke the story last week, former Guantanamo Bay inmate Ibrahim Qosi has been quite active in terrorism circles since he was released by Obama in 2012:

“Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released a new video featuring a former Guantanamo detainee, Ibrahim Qosi, who is also known as Sheikh Khubayb al Sudani.”

“In July 2010, Qosi plead guilty to charges of conspiracy and material support for terrorism before a military commission. His plea was part of a deal in which he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors during his remaining time in US custody. Qosi was transferred to his home country of Sudan two years later, in July 2012.”

“Qosi joined AQAP in 2014 and became one of its leaders. Qosi and other AQAP commanders discussed their time waging jihad at length in the video, entitled ‘Guardians of Sharia.’”

Qosi was first captured in 2001, and spent nearly thirteen years in U.S. military custody at Guantanamo Bay.

His 2010 guilty plea was instrumental in getting him out of prison, and back on the battle field—in part because of President Barack Obama’s ambitions to shut down the infamous terrorist prison.

At the time, Qosi was being released into a Sudanese “re-integration program” that the Obama White House believed would keep him from slipping back into terrorism.

“One of the main reasons the United States was willing to return him to [his native] Sudan was the U.S. confidence in the government of Sudan’s program and its confidence that Mr. al-Qosi would not represent any kind of threat to the United States.” said Qosi’s lawyer. “If they had considered him a threat, they would not have released him.”

Now, he’s following directly in Osama bin Laden’s footsteps—and leading the influential and lethal terrorist group.

Worse, Qosi may not be the last terrorist to “re-offend.” Obama’s Secretary of Defense, Ashton Carter, is considering the release of as many as 17 terrorists from Guantanamo Bay—and it’s likely that they could all take up arms against the United States, as soon as their allowed.

https://conservativecritic.wordpress.com/2015/11/07/carly-fiorina-she-really-was-that-bad/#respondSat, 07 Nov 2015 01:29:47 +0000http://conservativecritic.wordpress.com/?p=6508In short….she was and continues to be out of the league of competent CEO’s and political leaders.

HER silver tongue honed by decades in corporate marketing, Carly Fiorina has used two debates, and a steely determination on the campaign trail, to climb near the top of the polls for the Republican nomination.

But Americans should pause on her biggest professional credential for our highest office: a short, disastrous stint atop one of America’s iconic technology companies, Hewlett-Packard.

The clearest measure of her performance — and the report card preferred by Wall Street — is H.P.’s stock price, which dropped by 52 percent during her tenure of almost six years.

Yes, Mrs. Fiorina served during the worst fall in technology shares in history. But she managed to underperform her key competitors; IBM’s shares declined by 27.5 percent and Dell’s fell by 3 percent.

The most ruinous aspect of Mrs. Fiorina’s tenure was her decision to acquire another “old tech” hardware company, Compaq Computer Corporation, instead of moving more heavily into services and software, as IBM did.

The proposed merger — Mrs. Fiorina pronounced that the two companies “fit together like a zipper” — bitterly divided directors and shareholders and was approved with just a 51.4 percent majority, a split I cannot recall seeing elsewhere during my 33-year Wall Street career.

To be fair, Mrs. Fiorina was saddled with a dysfunctional board. But that was well known, so taking the job with that added complexity was her eyes-wide-open choice.

Investors were so down on her that H.P.’s shares jumped by almost 7 percent on the day of her firing. And in ensuing years, she appeared on several “worst C.E.O.” lists, including those of CBS News and USA Today.

In 2009, Portfolio magazine ranked her the 19th worst C.E.O. of all time and described her as a “consummate self-promoter” who was “busy pontificating on the lecture circuit and posing for magazine covers while her company floundered.” (That sounds like good preparation for running for president.)

Mrs. Fiorina tries to obscure these harsh realities with a blizzard of her own “facts.” On the campaign trail, for example, she speaks of having doubled her company’s revenues. However, most of that increase came from adding in Compaq’s sales, which is a misleading way to calculate revenue growth.

While some of the intricacies of Mrs. Fiorina’s performance may elude voters amid the dust storm that she has kicked up, her compensation won’t. She banked $21 million in severance payments as part of the more than $100 million in compensation she received during what one critic called her “destructive reign of terror” (which included pushing for H.P. to acquire five corporate jets.)

In the course of her losing Senate run in 2010, she was also attacked for the 30,000 layoffs that occurred at H.P. during her tenure. That’s not entirely fair — the entire technology industry was going through a downsizing and H.P.’s total employment ultimately climbed back up — but it was deadly effective politics that could doubtless be repeated in 2016.

Less attention has been paid to her time at Lucent Technologies, where she rose through the marketing ranks, learning the sales techniques that she is now putting to good use on the stump.
Soon after she left, Lucent veered off a cliff, and while she was never the chief executive, part of the company’s collapse stemmed from overly aggressive sales and loans to financially shaky customers made under her supervision.

Strikingly few former colleagues have come to Mrs. Fiorina’s defense. And her most prominent advocate, the venture capitalist Tom Perkins, has his own challenges; last year, he compared the criticisms of wealthy Americans to the attacks on Jews during Kristallnacht.

In a recent essay, Mrs. Fiorina noted that many other successful business leaders — Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Walt Disney and Michael Bloomberg — were all fired at one point in their careers.

The difference, however, is that all four went on to achieve remarkable business success; Mrs. Fiorina has not held a full-time private sector job since she left H.P. in 2005 — perhaps because no one sought her services.

I certainly recognize that corporate accomplishments are not a prerequisite for a government perch. Indeed, many chief executives fail when they move from the command-and-control business environment to Washington, where consensus-building is a necessity.

However, the lack of public service or sustained business success makes Mrs. Fiorina unqualified for the nation’s highest office. By comparison, Mitt Romney had built an extraordinarily successful investment firm and served for four years as governor of Massachusetts.

Crooning on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” as Mrs. Fiorina did recently, may add some glitter to her persona, but the important gaps in achievement remain.

This is an elephant in the living room that GMO practitioners and academics will deny to the demise of the last foundation grant given to their universities.

IMPORTANT E-COLI UPDATE!!

It might surprise you to learn that some people now believe the new E. coli superbug sweeping through Europe, Sickening Thousands of People and Killing Dozens, is a Bio-Engineered Germ Warfare Pathogen!!

There has been something strange about the recent deadly outbreak of antibiotic-resistant E. coli, which has sickened thousands throughout Europe and hasalready killed dozens:

Too many of these super-pathogens are coming out at once. Perhaps excessive antibiotic usage has caused pathogens to mutate. But this is ridiculous and it is quite possible that someone is tampering with the bugs and turning them into biological weapons as they are now affecting a wide variety of food crops…Antibiotic drugs are not used on food crops, so that rules out mutation.

GMO “superbug”…It appears that forensic evidence is emerging that indicates that the European e.coli superbug was bioengineered to produce human fatalities.

Even as the veggie blame game is now under way across the EU, where a super resistant strain of E. coli is sickening patients and filling hospitals in Germany, virtually no one is talking about how E. coli could have magically become resistant to eight different classes of antibiotic drugs and then suddenly appeared in the food supply.

This particular E. coli variation is a member of the O104 strain, and O104 strains are almost never (normally) resistant to antibiotics. In order for them to acquire this resistance, they must be repeatedly exposed to antibiotics in order to provide the ‘mutation pressure’ that nudges them toward complete drug immunity.

So how does this “mutation pressure” happen with a strain of E. coli found in vegetables that have never been exposed to antibiotic drugs, much less to multiple types of antibiotic drugs?

The answer is quite simple —you have to expose this strain of E. coli to all eight classes of antibiotics drugs. Usually this isn’t done at the same time, of course:

You first expose it to penicillin and find the surviving colonies which are resistant to penicillin. You then take those surviving colonies and expose them to tetracycline. The surviving colonies are now resistant to both penicillin and tetracycline. You then expose them to a sulfa drug and collect the surviving colonies from that, and so on.

It is a process of genetic selection done in a laboratory with a desired outcome. This is essentially how some bioweapons are engineered by the U.S. Army in its laboratory facility in Ft. Detrick, Maryland…

Although the actual process is more complicated than this, the upshot is that creating a strain of E. coli that’s resistant to eight classes of antibiotics requires repeated, sustained exposure to those antibiotics.

It is virtually impossible to imagine how this could happen all by itself in the natural world. For example, if this bacteria originated in the food crops (as we’ve been told), then where did it acquire all this antibiotic resistance given the fact that antibiotics are not used in vegetables?

When considering the genetic evidence that now confronts the EU, it is difficult to imagine how this could happen ‘in the wild.’ While resistance to a single antibiotic is common, the creation of a strain of E. coli that’s resistant to eight different classes of antibiotics — in combination — simply defies the laws of genetic permutation and combination in the wild.

Simply put, this superbug E.coli strain could not have been created in the wild. And that leaves only one explanation for where it really came from: the lab.”

The bottom line is that this deadly new strain of E. coli must have been engineered in a laboratory.

Whose laboratory? I have no idea. But as author Duncan Long discusses in the 1999 book, The Bioterrorism Manual: Secrets for Survival…

“..one of the easiest and most effective vectors for terrorists (whether corporate, or religious fanatic) to conduct a germ warfare attack on a population would be through the food supply.”

Infecting the food supply is cheap, easy, can causes high casualties, and triggers the desired response which is inducing a state of helplessness and panic in the targeted population.

Indeed, terrorist attempts to infect the food supply have already taken place right here in the United States. So this is nothing new. As Duncan Long writes in The Bioterrorism Manual: Secrets for Survival:

“One attack took place in September 1984, in Oregon…this one was mounted by a religious cult, the Rajneeshi, who were trying to take over the local political system of the town where they had set up their headquarters.

To swing the election that they hoped would vote into office members of the sect, the group cultivated salmonella bacteria in an underground lab.

They then filled small vials of water laced with the bacteria and spread out over town, surreptitiously pouring the deadly liquid over lettuce in salad bars, produce in grocery stores, and so forth.

The goal of this reckless act was to make enough townspeople ill that they wouldn’t go to the voting booths, thereby allowing the Rajneeshi to swing the election in their favor.

The attack eventually made 751 people sick, including babies; in all, nearly a tenth of the town was laid low with the intense illness.

One frightening aspect of this story is that the attack went undetected. No one ever connected the cult to the strange illness that swept through the tiny town. It was only later, when a former member came forward and told the authorities, that the attack was discovered.

Such attacks can be mounted with only rudimentary knowledge of laboratory methods, and such assaults may not only go undetected but may even remain a mystery. This makes biological weapons revolting to good people. And attractive to terrorists.”

WELL – WE’RE BACK TO THE ORGANIC FARM NOW…

The German’s are back at the organic farm now, unfortunately without any direct evidence since all of the contaminated vegetables have been either shredded(see pix below), eaten or thrown away…How convenient!

Anyway, organic folks are getting the brickbats again, and the EU has been oh so quick to offer up hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation to those who were affected…smells like the EU is trying to have this potential GMO problem go away as quickly as possible…

The German “experts” clearly state that it is not yet established WHY the organic sprouts were bad – never mind, they have laid the blame on some small time farmer and let the bigger fish swim away without harm…And there are those who say that German engineering and science is top drawer – well, they may build a nice car, like my Mercedes, but they seem to have been drinking too much beer out in the sun when this problem was laid on their doorstep.

***********************

EDITOR’S NOTE: we occasionally receive nasty e-mails from readers who are really upset that information such as this is being brought to the light of day…they seem to ignore what science has discovered about the hybrid industry and what types of strange and new biological and viral strains are being loosed on humanity when the recombination process between native plants and virulent horizontal vectors occur. We will let them reside in their ignorance – they perhaps are shills for the GMO industry..

********************

FLASH – FLASH – FLASH

Surprise, surprise — GERMAN Health Ministry sources now say that the massive European e-coli outbreak was NOT the result of contaminated sprouts from a German organic farm. In fact, they now have no idea what has caused the problem – back to square one – after blaming Spanish Cucumbers and who knows what else.

I think we can stand by our original premise that GMO seeds, contaminated by the horizontal transfer of pathogenic e-coli bacteria for the genetic engineering process – is still the culprit. Of course, all the bad veggies will be taken to some remote warehouse and chopped up so there is no way to determine if the e-coli was topical or inherent in the plant genetics.

Really good science at work…

Stay tuned – the fat lady hasn’t sung yet!!

BTW – some of our readers seem to think that GMO is banned in Europe – perhaps they have been hiding under a rock or something…more and more acceptance(and pressure from the US based corporations) throughout the EU…

*******************

SPECIAL NOTICE TO OUR READERS:

This blog entry has attracted close to 9000 viewers in the last 48 hours – many are asking for more information on just how this genetic engineering process works; if it indeed has met the multiple claims and promises of the GMO corporations and what known dangers may be inherent in this process where multinational corporations are now playing “God in the Garden”.

We will post information on this blog(and blog entry) to link you to more complete information on the above topics. This is indeed a controversial subject and the object of tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars in profits for companies such as Monsanto, Cargill, Dupont, etc who make no bones about trying to control the world’s food supply.

IMPORTANT UPDATE (NOW DENIED BY GERMAN AUTHORITIES):

European authorities now claim that the deadly e-coli outbreak has been traced to an “organic” vegetable/sprout farm in Germany. The farm apparently uses no manure, which rules out animal-based e-coli while the “scientists on the ground” say the pathogen likely originated in water or in the seeds purchased and used to grow sprouts.

Organic farmers typically use no artificial or native chemical growth stimulants but may purchase GMO seeds, in a fashion similar to conventional vegetable growers. Organic growers are on the “hit list” of major food producers, including companies who produce GMO seeds for general distribution.

Conclusion? Just because the cause appears to originate on an organic vegetable farm does not mean that the organic process was the culprit – it could just as easily mean that the farmer was dumb enough to purchase GMO seeds produced by e-coli injection methods and not know it.

It will be interesting to see how quickly the culprit vegetation is gathered up and taken to some laboratory and ground up for analysis – once again defeating any attempt to determine if the e-coli was deposited on the surface of the plant(or seed) or inherent in the genetic makeup of the seed itself….

Vegetable Grinder

Just like we predicted, Europe shredding the evidence of e-coli contaminated vegetables – no way to identify GMO after it is shredded!!*************

We have seen this type of diversionary activity before.

And, we’ve seen this story before – only a short two years ago in the Salinas Valley of Central California – the vegetable basket of the United States, hundreds of individuals seriously ill(and some deaths) from consuming vegetables tainted in some fashion by variations of the highly virulent e-coli bacterium.

In the end, in order to protect the sacred cow of the GMO industry, the Salinas Valley episode was conveniently blamed on cattle and wild pig droppings which were claimed to have occurred several miles from the apparent contamination area.

This is sound science?

The contaminated samples of spinach and other vegetables were collected, sequestered in a guarded warehouse nearby and then conveniently sliced and diced so that it was virtually impossible to determine if the e-coli was present on the vegetable’s surface or inherent in the genetic makeup of the vegetation.

Obviously more good science at work…

The more logical explanation, now conveniently hid from view due to the “destroyed” sample vegetables is the use of highly virulent bacteria in the horizontal gene transfer in genetically engineered vegetables. Normal “vertical” genetic transfer is from within the native plant itself, a “mother-daughter” transfer of identical, reproductive genetic information from the mother plant to the daughter seed.

In genetic engineering, extremely toxic microbes, many in the e-coli family of pathogenic bacteria, are transferred “horizontally” or basically injected into the native plant so as to genetically alter a variety of plant features, including color, taste, productivity, and immunity to various insects and plant diseases.

Even genetic engineers admit that this horizontal gene transferring process can create new and radical species of bacteria, which then reside in each and every molecule of the new plant when it germinates, is harvested and placed on your family’s dinner plate. And this is what you might be eating when you buy vegetables in your local US grocery store – where it is currently illegal to mark or designate various table vegetables as GMO.

Glow fish created by genetic engineers with too much time on their hands…In Europe, as in the United States and many foreign countries which have experienced similar outbreaks of “NEW” variants of e-coli, the culprit may very well be this genetic engineering process running amok – creating a multitude of vaccine and anti-biotic resistant bacteria strains which are entirely new to scientists and biologists and are highly destructive to animals and humans.

Watch carefully to see how organizations such as the World Health Organization and the Food and Drug Administration quickly discount this possibility – a clear indication as to how closely these organizations are tied to the GMO industries of Dupont, Monsanto and a variety of European concerns who want to control our food chain.

We appreciate your comments and inputs on this topic. (are you glowing in the dark yet?)

Have you tried Monsanto’s new “Banana fish” lately?

Here is the most likely scenario that I can foresee at the moment. Hamas, the fundamentalist Arab terrorist organization funded by Iran, will take complete control over the Palestinian autonomous areas.

Hamas will then unleash a renewed reign of terror on Israel, continuing their lobbing of rockets from Gaza and Jericho to back up their demand for control of (eastern)Jerusalem.

The Palestinian leadership will orchestrate world pressure on Israel through the United Nations and the Vatican. On September 23rd of last year they proclaimed a Palestinian state and then demanded that Jerusalem be “liberated” or internationalized.

Since even the most liberal Israelis take the position that Jerusalem is non-negotiable, the pressure will mount toward an inevitable conflict. If Hamas does not unleash the rockets first, then Abbas will ultimately return to the method he knows best — terror.

This will prompt an Israeli counter attack, which, in turn, will motivate the Arab states to come to the defense of the Palestinians. This could very well lead to Syria launching an all out missile attack on Tel Aviv in order to reclaim the Golan Heights and turn attention away from their civilian upheavals.

If that ominous event should occur, the Israelis will be forced to use their ultimate weapon to survive. They will strike Damascus with nuclear weapons. This will fulfill the prophecies that state that Damascus will cease to exist in the end times (Isaiah 17:1-3 and Jeremiah 49:23-27).

In panic, the Arab states will then turn to their natural ally for help — the Russians. And the likelihood is that the Russian government will be only too happy to send an army into the Middle East to destroy Israel (and grab the Arab oil fields in the process).

That is when the Lord will step in personally to destroy 5/6th of the Russian and Islamic hordes on the mountains of Israel in a supernatural way so that even the Israelis will realize that their deliverance came from the Lord and not from their own military might (Ezekiel 38 and 39). As the whole world panics on the brink of World War III, a dynamic, charismatic political leader from Europe will step into the vacuum and propose an ingenious solution that will result in peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors — a peace that will enable the Jews to rebuild their Temple.

We live in exciting times when we can watch prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes. The events are ominous and overwhelming, but we can stand firm with great hope because we know that God is on His throne and that He is in control.

The events we are currently witnessing throughout the Middle East point to the imminent return of Jesus Christ, and when He returns, the world will be flooded with the Millennial peace and righteousness as promised to Abraham and his descendents, and Israel will enjoy the blessings of territorial integrity and peace forevermore (Zechariah 8:1-8).

In all of this, it is important to remember that while we as the Church were formulated at Pentacost, the Lord’s timetable throughout recorded history has and will continue to be Israel. The USA is only mentioned in biblical history as one of the “isles of the world” which has no significance other than to be associated with other countries which have lined up against Israel.

The USA(and Obama administration) position of support for Israel has deteriorated rapidly in the last five years – and it is quite clear that Obama favors the Islamic and Muslim cause over that of Israel. These acts alone tell us that the end of world history as we know it is near its prophetic conclusion.

When the rapture of the church occurs, what belief remains in the USA will be indistinguishable from any other nation in the world – and the USA’s task of being the world’s leader in evangelical activities prior to the Tribulation and Millennium will be completed.

Be encouraged and not dismayed – I read the back of the Book and WE WON!

We’ve had two epic market collapses in the last 15 years. In response, the Fed desperately tried to prop up the markets by severely cutting interest rates. Cutting rates to zero badly devalued the U.S. currency, sent us spiraling into record debt, and killed savers by lowering the savings rate to zero. But with the global economy still on terribly shaky ground and interest rates already at zero, do the Obama Administration & banks have any ammo left? Shockingly, yes.

Central banks already have plans to impose negative interest rates – in other words, you get taxed on your savings! And in order to prevent you and me from storing our money in cash and avoiding the savings tax, the gov’t & banks advance toward the real end game: abolish cash altogether and force us all into the digital world controlled by the the Obama Administration & banks. Luckily, there’s still one way to escape the tyranny.

Step 1: Tax Your Savings

When economic conditions worsen, world banks react by reducing interest rates in order to stimulate the economy. But there comes a point when those central banks run out of room to cut, because interest rates are already at zero. So the answer for world banks is to impose negative interest rates. This means that instead of getting interest on your savings, you actually PAY BANKS to keep your savings on deposit. In other words, you pay tax on your savings. So you actually LOSE MONEY every day you keep your money in the bank.

So, what would any reasonable person do when the bank steals their savings every single day? Pull their money out of the bank, of course! Physical paper money provides the check against negative interest rates, because if the bank takes your savings, you can simply withdraw your funds and hoard cash. Furthermore, when you inevitably lose faith in the banking system, physical paper money allows you to pull your savings out of the bank before the bank collapses.

Step 2: Abolish Cash

But if you think pulling money out of the bank is going to be so easy, think again. Willem Buiter, the Global Chief Economist for Citi, has now come up with an answer to prevent you from pulling your money out of the bank: abolish cash entirely! You read that right. The Global Chief Economist from one of the largest banking institutions in the world is now telling the Obama minions & banks to abolish the use and private storage of YOUR cash. And guess what? The gov’t & banks are following orders.

The Banks Declare War on Your Cash

Government & banks around the world are taking swift action to abolish the use and storage of cash:

JPMorgan Chase recently informed customers that the bank will no longer allow cash to be stored in safety deposit boxes.Chase instituted a new policy which “restricts borrowers from using cash to make payments on credit cards, mortgages, equity lines, and auto loans.”The Justice Department has ordered bank employees to consider calling the police on customers who withdraw $5,000 dollars or more.HSBC is now interrogating its account holders in the UK on how they earn and spend their money as well as restricting cash withdrawals for customers.Banks in the U.S. are making it harder for customers to withdraw and deposit cash, with Chase imposing new capital controls that mandate identification for cash deposits and ban cash being deposited into another person’s account.Chase banned international wire transfers while restricting cash activity for business customers (both deposits and withdrawals).The French government announced it will restrict French citizens from making cash payments over €1,000 euros.

The Gov’t Seizes Your Cash

As the U.S. spirals toward insolvency due to massive over-spending and Fed money-printing, the U.S. government is pulling out all the stops to gain access to your money – no matter where it is across the globe.

First, the government started seizing citizen bank accounts with no due process.

Then, the IRS threatened foreign nations and financial institutions across the globe to turn over your private data and financial accounts, with the threat of financial warfare if they don’t comply.

And now, the Department of Justice and local police have started seizing cash from innocent citizens. That’s right, the executive branch of government has been aggressively taking citizens cash without due process of law.

So in short, your ability to take your savings out of banks and storing it in cash is coming to an end. And even if you do take possession of your savings in cash, how secure do you feel when the government comes knocking on your door asking about your stockpile of cash?

If our government is going to these lengths to track down your money and even confiscate citizen savings without due process, isn’t it much easier to track and control digital accounts than cash? Yes. So how does the government remedy this challenge? Join the banks in a war against cash.
